2. Video Lesson: The Effects on Our Lives of Imbalance

Let’s continue Week 1 of the Balance Work & Rest Advanced Challenge.

• What happens when we have a skewed balance between work and rest?
• Other than stress, we get the life that is overfilled without space for rest.
• We become very tired and the work itself is done with feeling of low energy and burden.
• We are not giving our best self to the world.
• Instead of feeling joy, we can’t wait for the end of the day.
• Joy can’t come when we are lacking rest, when we are drained.
• Sleep quality is getting low and our habits are getting worse.
• Self care things get pushed off.
• Relationships are suffering.
• Those are some of the effect but you may experience others as well.
